It can be uncomfortable for children to pose for a portrait, It usually turns out to look unnatural and contrived. Try to capture them
engaged in a favorite sport or pasttime. |

DECISIONS, DECISIONS ... |
|
|
|
"When composing a portrait, I prefer to have the child in his/her favorite environment as opposed to a formal livingroom setting. When
the child is relaxed and happy you can capture a more natural posture and cheerful expression. When I look at the happy faces in this portrait of our grandsons and their girlfriend I always catch myself smiling." |

JORDAN STEVEN & SCOTT |
|
|
|
This painting was done from a photo snapped by their grandpa. Although the background in the photo was clear and detailed, I felt that
an impressionistic background - splashes of watercolor - would concentrate the focus on the detailed realism of the portraits of the boys, like the eye focuses on a subject. This allows the viewer to see with the artist's eyes. |

Natural light can be used to create a dramatic composition even when there is no background. The direct and reflective light in this
portrait accentuates the feeling of movement and brings life to the action. |

A detailed subject with a dramatic contrast in hues along with an indiscernable, implied background puts the focus on the subject (not
the floral couch background). Movement is implied in this portrait where some details of the subject fade into the background (i.e. the hair and the dog's ear on the left). |

THE BUBBLE GANG |
|
|
I composed this painting from four separate photographs of children of our friends and family. They are actually years apart in
age. |

The detailed subjects and obscure backgrounds keep these portraits light, airy and lively. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the portrait below, although the subject is not moving, the feeling of movement is created in the impressionistic background
reflecting the excitement of the moment captured in detailed realism in the boy's face. |

SUNDAY TREAT |

A simple informal portrait such as this one of two sisters enjoying an ice-cream cone can invoke lasting memories of carefree
childhood Sundays. |
